Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for preparing calcium carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles using calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide as starting materials. More specifically, the invention relates to the use of dry ice as the source of carbon dioxide in the method for preparing calcium carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles. The application further relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
  • the method comprises screening the raw carbide lime for size reduction, drying the screened carbide lime to obtain a low moisture content and a calcium carbonate content below 25 percent, fine grinding the dried material, and classifying the fine ground particles to separate a fraction of the particulates having a desired particle size, and corresponding lower specific gravity.
  • this method results in a processed carbide lime composition which comprises 70 to 85 percent by weight calcium hydroxide and 5 to 25 percent by weight calcium carbonate, wherein the calcium carbonate is in the form of surface carbonation on the calcium hydroxide.
  • US 6,310,129 teaches a process for the manufacture of carbide lime in a form suitable for use as a filler in thermoplastic materials.
  • EP 0 459 399 A1 water is added to a methanol suspension of lime (unslaked and/or slaked). Carbon dioxide gas is let through the mixture for a carbonation reaction to produce vaterite calcium carbonate.
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • Another benefit imparted to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin molded products made with the processed carbide lime filler composition is the ability of calcium hydroxide to neutralize toxic gases from PVC combustion. Calcium hydroxide reacts favourably with toxic chloride gas produced by PVC combustion, resulting in two harmless substances, i.e., water and salt.
  • a complementary quality is that the carbide lime filler composition is also flame retardant due to its high melting point, and exhibits a "hard char" effect after burning. Consequently, coating for electrical wiring, for example, which is made from a resin containing the processed carbide lime filler composition, will not simply decompose when subjected to fire. Instead, the coating will form a hard coating on the wire, thus potentially preventing further hazard.
  • the process for preparing calcium carbonate particles described in the '459 patent comprises reacting a starting material containing calcium oxide with carbonate ions in the presence of water to produce calcium carbonate, and recovering the calcium carbonate, characterized in that the formation is carried out directly from calcium oxide to calcium carbonate without intermediate stages. Additionally, the process is carried out under intensive agitation such that the calcium carbonate becomes detached from the surface of the calcium hydroxide.
  • Other methods known in the art for the manufacture of particles of calcium carbonate are described in numerous patent applications listed in the '459 patent.
  • Calcium carbonate does not exhibit, and does not impart, the aforementioned anti-microbial or flame retardant properties to resin molded products.
  • Unmodified calcium hydroxide without the calcium carbonate surface coating has not been found to be as useful as the coated calcium hydroxide for application as a filler for resin molded products. This is apparently due to the surface carbonation providing a protective coating on the calcium hydroxide particles which permits the particles to be incorporated into the resin matrix in a manner in which unmodified calcium hydroxide cannot.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 7,883,681 discloses the use of calcium carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles as a filler material in polyvinylchloride (PVC) resin molded products. These particles were found to combine the advantage of the calcium carbonate of being readily incorporated in PVC resin while retaining the advantageous properties of calcium hydroxide including the antimicrobial and flame retardant properties.
  • the '681 patent discloses a method of making calcium carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles comprising 70-80% by weight of calcium hydroxide and about 5-25% by weight of calcium carbonate in the form of a coating on the surface of the calcium hydroxide particles.
  • the '681 patent teaches a method of making the carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles comprising suspending the calcium hydroxide particles in the air; carbonating said suspended particles by exposure to carbon dioxide; and carrying out the carbonation reaction for a predetermined period of time to create a surface carbonation on the calcium hydroxide in the proportions described above.
  • the '681 patent describes using a gas, such as air, containing carbon dioxide as the carbon dioxide source, and further describes blowing the gas into a vessel containing the suspended calcium hydroxide particles, to create the surface carbonation on the suspended particles. This is an impinging process. Accordingly, the amount of carbon dioxide is controlled by the length of time of exposure to the gas containing carbon dioxide.
  • the '681 patent teaches the use of the exhaust gas of calcining ovens which contains carbon dioxide as a by product of the processes used to obtain the calcium oxide particles that are then hydrated to produce the calcium hydroxide particles.
  • a further issue associated with the method described in the '681 patent is that suspending the calcium hydroxide particles in air requires a high velocity and turbulent conditions in the system.
  • the calcium hydroxide particles will collide with one another resulting in particles of uneven shape and size.
  • the flow of the carbon dioxide across the suspended particles may results in an uneven coating of calcium carbonate on the surface giving a "comet-like" shape to the coated particles having a rounded side at one face and a tail at the opposite face.
  • the reaction described in the '681 patent occurs in turbulent air streams at high pressure, with carbon dioxide gas impingement causing particle size reduction due to attrition milling. In this method the aspect ratio of the particles is reduced and shear of individual particles may uncover more calcium hydroxide surface which may be detrimental to incorporation into resins.
  • a method of preparing calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) coated calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) particles comprising: introducing calcium hydroxide particles into a reaction vessel; reacting the calcium hydroxide particles with carbon dioxide in the form of dry ice by introducing the dry ice into the reaction vessel and allowing the carbon dioxide to co-mingle with the calcium hydroxide particles and react to form a calcium carbonate coating on the calcium hydroxide particle; wherein the proportion of the calcium hydroxide particles to dry ice is controlled based on measurement of a specific gravity of the reaction product to provide calcium carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles comprising 70-95% w/w calcium hydroxide and 5-30% w/w calcium carbonate surface coating.
  • the co-mingling of the calcium hydroxide particles with the carbon dioxide is by gravity settling of the particles.
  • the calcium hydroxide particles are about 44 micron. In a further embodiment the calcium hydroxide particles are in the form of a powder. In another embodiment of the invention the calcium hydroxide particles have a size distribution consisting of 95% population of 44 micron particles.
  • the proportion of the dry ice to calcium hydroxide is 31.8 kg (70 lb) of dry ice per 907.2 kg (ton) of calcium hydroxide for a calcium carbonate surface coating of 20 % w/w.
  • an apparatus for preparing calcium carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles comprising:
  • dry ice refers to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the solid from which sublimes to produce carbon dioxide gas at room temperature.
  • surface coating and “coating” as used herein refer to a layer of one material substantially covering the surface of a particle of another material.
  • calcium hydroxide particles are combined with dry ice (CO 2 ) to provide calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) coated calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) particles.
  • the dry ice is added in a measured ratio to calcium hydroxide in order to provide a final particle comprising 70-95% w/w calcium hydroxide (core) and 5-30% w/w calcium carbonate surface coating on the core.
  • the particle comprises 70-85% w/w calcium hydroxide.
  • the calcium carbonate coating is 15-30% w/w.
  • the calcium carbonate coating is 20% w/w.
  • the particle size of the calcium hydroxide particles is approximately 44 micron. In a further embodiment the particles size is less than 100 microns, in a further embodiment the particle size is less than 75 microns. In a further embodiment the mean particle size is 44 microns and the size distribution of the particles consists of 95% population of 44 micron particle as per the industry standard. In another embodiment the particle size may be expressed as a mesh size. In a particular embodiment the particle size is minus 25 micron (600 mesh) in a further embodiment the particle size is minus 45 micron (325 mesh).
  • the particle size of the calcium hydroxide particles is 44 micron.
  • 28137 cm 3 (1 cubic foot (cu ft)) of Ca(OH) 2 in the form of 44 micron dry powder was found to have a weight of 18.1 kg (40 pounds (lbs)). 0.45 kg (one pound) of dry ice is equal to 0.25 m 3 (8.75 Cu Ft) of CO 2 gas at 101 kPa (1 atmosphere) and 21 °C (70 °F). Accordingly, for 20% surface conversion of Ca(OH) 2 to CaCO 3 , 31.8 kg (70 lb) of dry ice per 907.2 kg (ton) of Ca(OH) 2 is required.
  • the ratio of calcium hydroxide to carbon dioxide can be varied to provide particles having a different percentage of carbonation.
  • the ratio of the components is based on particle size and weight per dry standard cubic foot compacted per ASTM standards for bulk density of powdered materials. Sublimed carbon dioxide gas produces the carbonate coating on the calcium hydroxide particle surfaces.
  • the calcium hydroxide particles and dry ice particles may be added simultaneously to a reaction vessel and allowed to mix by gravity settling. No further agitation of the calcium hydroxide particles is required, although some agitation or mixing of the reagents is permitted.
  • the dry ice sublimes at room temperature to envelope the calcium hydroxide particles this provides an even coating of calcium carbonate on the calcium hydroxide particles.
  • the minimal agitation of the calcium hydroxide allows for retention of the shape and size of particle as initially added to the reaction. Minimizing the agitation of the starting material also reduces the potential for changes in morphology and impact damage to surface carbonation and early release or exposure of the core calcium hydroxide material.
  • the calcium hydroxide starting material will contain particles having a narrow size distribution and having a spherical shape. Accordingly, the product calcium carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles produced by this method will also have a spherical shape and narrow size distribution. It has been found that small particles of dry ice are most effective in providing an even layer of carbonation. In a particular embodiment the dry ice is in the form of small flakes or particles. For example, the dry ice particles will have a size of about 0.425 mm.
  • reaction of calcium hydroxide may be carried out as a batch reaction or as a continuous flow reaction.
  • the calcium hydroxide particles are combined with dry ice in a reaction vessel such as a silo reactor having an inlet for dry ice (CO 2 ) and an inlet for Ca(OH) 2 .
  • the inlet used for the dry ice may be the same or different than the inlet used for Ca(OH) 2 .
  • the Ca(OH) 2 and dry ice will be added to the reaction vessel at the same time either through the same or different inlets and will be allowed to mix via down draft gravity settling.
  • the inlets may be inlet manifolds.
  • the silo reactor may be further provided with an outlet for removal of the reaction product, the calcium carbonate coated calcium hydroxide particles.

  • the dry ice plant comprises carbon dioxide liquid stored at high pressure and means for converting the liquid carbon dioxide to dry ice, for example, by flow of the liquid carbon dioxide through an injector or sparger mechanism into the reaction silo (3) at reduced pressure.
  • the delivery product silo (5) of figure 1 further has one or more density gauges (9) and a temperature gauge (11).
  • the delivery product silo (5) may also have vibration bin dischargers (13).
  • the delivery product silo may have a two way valved product spool bypass, for directing the product to either a bulk transport vehicle (7) or a product bagging line (6).
